ZEPHYRHILLS - Community Harvest Church opened its doors here Nov. 4.

The church is part of Revelation Ministries International, a global fellowship of ministers, missionaries and churches.

The Rev. Tom Marino, who leads the church, relocated with his wife, Mary Ann, and the Rev. Gordon and Dawn Buley from New York to establish the church.

Marino has been in the ministry for 25 years and a full-time pastor since 1986.

He serves as chancellor of International Evangel Bible College and Seminary, coordinating Revelation Ministries International's ministerial education programs.

He is affiliated with the Assemblies of God and Elim Fellowship in New York, and the Pentecostal Church of God in Florida.
Community Harvest Church will be the Southeastern base of operations for Revelation Ministries and will serve as the main office for the college and seminary.

Church leaders have been introducing the church to the community through an information booth at the Zephyrhills Harvest Festival in October and Marino's participation in several Main Street Zephyrhills meetings. He hopes to book concerts at Fifth Avenue's Times Square to introduce the church.
Community Harvest also wants to work with other congregations and local organizations to provide outreach services to the community. It also hopes to train and equip people to serve here and abroad.

In building the congregation, Marino is looking for people with talent in teaching, preaching, music, multimedia, counseling, singing or other areas, as well as people in search of a church home.

Aside from the 10 a.m. Sunday service, plans are in the works for a Saturday evening service, and the church hopes to start a midweek service in several months.
